Abstract:

Some of the physical effects of cold temperatures that should be considered when developing a contaminant-transport model are surveyed in this paper. The discussion begins with the following working definition of the term "cold region" for the purpose of contaminant hydrology modeling: an area with appreciable frozen ground and a substantial fraction of the annual precipitation as snow. Models that estimate the liquid water content and hydraulic conductivity of frozen ground are discussed.
